I think this new version of Learning 2.0 is well arranged and presented. The format and function of each exercise has been clearly identified and much of the familiarization is self directed wading through cites and applications. This methodology suited me especially because my time was telescoped due to leave followed by 'catchup' work commitments.
What I liked most was how simple the applications are to explore, eg downloading images and videos. Maybe my favourite was finding a Jimoin video even though the video quality was amateurish.
I didn't expect to find YouTube interesting but was surprised when I went to some Deakin Uni sites and found that they were really quite engaging.
My reservations about the program focus on the juggle between core workload and allocating time to complete this program. These are always competing commitments, so the length of the program was quite daunting at first. Also, once this kind of learning program becomes compulsory, I have a sinking feeling that updates will correspondingly be compulsory. It unfortunately adds to workload stress.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughtful posts, especially the application or limited application for libraries and academic researchers.
The tension arising from our workload and what ends to be competing subjects or tasks is a perennial issue. I hope this was not the lasting thought of this program.
